5.5 Questions for Bobb Bruno

Just a love for synthesizers, drum machines, and non-traditional forms of electronic music.

2. What was your very first gig?

My first solo gig was at the original The Smell location in North Hollywood, late Nineties i believe. I recreated my bedroom and played in my pajamas.
Instrumentation was chord organ, Yamaha SU-10 sampler, vocals.

Well, I’m usually playing in some nondescript empty room, so this will be interesting to see what I come up with.

5. What is next for you?

Hopefully, this will be the genesis of a new solo lp. It’s been 7 years.

5.5 Please choose a track from our archive, and tell us why you chose it (in as few or many words as you like).

I really can’t pick one so here they are:

Stephen Prina: Sonic Dan. I had read about this performance in an interview with Prina and was bummed that i had missed it. When he performed it again at Schindler House, i was so exited to finally see it. One of my favorite singers. Push Comes to Love and Vinyl II are both amazing records.
